In our weekly work meeting today they announced that we are going to do a "white elephant" book exchange. Next week we'll be provided with the name of a teammate and will have until the end of the month to come up with a book to send that person. The actual book (be it paper or electronic) will be bought by our CEO and sent...

I am thinking I will try to replace my computer this year. Not sure when since I don't actually have any money, but it is definitely overdue for replacement. I've been looking at a replacement computer for over a year (maybe 2 now?) I am thinking about getting a Microsoft Surface Book 3 15". It is a 2-in-1 that can be a tablet (detaches from...

I think if I were in the market for a new laptop, and I wasn't getting a mac, I think I'd look towards AMD based laptops right now. This video convinced me of that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V3uB12mRrU

So the work conference I had in NYC at the end of March has been canceled due to coronavirus. I called the airline (United) and they are refusing to refund the tickets and there is a $200 per ticket fee to change to a different time/destination. That's almost what the tickets cost each to begin with! So it looks like I'm out like $1200 now...

I find that...

Has anyone tried one of these game streaming services such as snoope or parsec? It sounds interesting and might be a way to do away with dual-booting Linux and Windows on my gaming machine.

Seriously, who gives a fuck about boot times? We're talking about about 5-15 seconds of difference. If you are rebooting everyday and you are not a kernel developer testing fresh kernels on bare metal - guess what? You you are doing it wrong! That few extra seconds you might gain isn't worth including the goddamn kitchen sink! You are free to not use it -...

At what point does a simulation no longer emulate the real world and become real itself?

Take artificial intelligence, for example, and think about what it means to be alive. At what point does a series of input, reaction/consideration, and output (response) become real? In fiction, the AI (good or evil) suddenly becomes self-aware and this is the defining point where a simulation becomes reality....

I have a cat that likes to play a little rough with our other cat and the kids. I refuse to declaw. I've been clipping her claws on a bi-monthly basis, but sometimes we are just too busy for me to keep up on it. I was thinking this might be a good alternative (note: both cats are indoor only)
